Tukaram, Poem 245

Krishna is my mother and father, sister,
brother, aunt and uncle.
Krishna is my teacher and boat of salvation.
He bears me over the river of the world.
Krishna is my own mind, my family, and my bosom friend.
Tuka says, Holy Krishna is my place of repose;
I am resolved I will not be parted from Him.
